Principal Product Manager, AI agents - Search

We're looking for a Principal Product Manager to guide the vision, strategy, and execution for the Elastic Agent Builder. As organisations shift from traditional data retrieval to autonomous, agentic workflows, the Agent Builder serves as the critical context layer that enables users to make Agents faster, lower cost, and more accurate.

In this high-impact role, you will be responsible for defining how enterprises build, manage, and scale context for AI agents. You will work at the cutting edge of the AI ecosystem, working with senior leadership and partnering with hyperscalers and evangelising our solutions to a global community of AI developers.

• Building, socialising, and aligning a roadmap for core context engineering capabilities built on top of Elastic powered retrieval and relevance for AI Agents
• Deeply understanding the AI Agent market, major players, trends, and how it may impact our strategy
• Working directly with data science and engineering to build out the strategy for benchmarking and evaluations of agent capabilities
• Working with design to build user experiences that address gaps in how agents show and refine context as they work
• Being the product expert and evangelising capabilities for Agent Builder through content like blog posts and open source projects
• Working with a broad ecosystem of AI partners including cloud service providers (Google, Amazon, Microsoft) and community developers

What you bring:

• Extensive experience: 10+ years of experience in product management or solution delivery for technical, cloud infrastructure, or platform products
• AI and ML fluency: deep technical understanding of the AI/ML landscape, including LLMs, RAG architectures, vector databases, and context engineering
• Bias to action: able to move fast and quickly learn from experiments and tests

• Communication excellence: outstanding spoken and written communication skills
• Customer obsession: passion for industry trends and a commitment to solving real-world customer problems

Additional information:

• We take care of our people: as a distributed company, diversity drives our identity. Whether you're looking to launch a new career or grow an existing one, Elastic is the type of company where you can balance great work with great life.
• Benefits include competitive pay, health coverage, flexible locations and schedules, generous vacation days, and more.
